Bible Question:
Hi all I am new to this site and hope someone has an answer for me. In bible study we have been talking about if we (as people) were a being (spirit) before we were placed in our mothers womb. we have found passages that say I knew you before you were born. that seems to suggest that God knew us but were we something before we were something? or just a plan? |
Bible Answer: Hello DLA, Welcome to the Forum! In addition to what Doc and Psalm 25 have offered, let me add one additional point that I feel might underlie your question at least in part. The Scriptures clearly teach that nothing and no one is eternal except God Himself. John 1:1-3 (ESV) 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In other words, we humans have not always existed as a soul or any other form prior to our being created; neither do I find in Scripture that God created us in spirit and then had us hang around a while, somewhere- anywhere, before joining us to a body. Hope this helps, Jeff |
